My surgeon said the gummies are fine, just double them ...so I eat 4 a day

I just went and bought centrum because I too was taking gummies and thinking its not good enough ...but I took centrum for two days and can't do it anymore so went back to gummies,calciumchews and b12 shots

Wow ........you look amazing, and I too was in the one cheek on the chair club.....I am one month out and am 1 1/2 on chair now......keep up the great work

I agree with previous post, your body isnt getting enough nutrients so unti you start eating even if its a few bites of refried Beans or scramble eggs your body will hold onto the fat supply....just take baby steps!

I have heard that there is just less ghrenelin because there is less stomach either way we are eating less and if have learned to eat healthy we will all do great

Well Im one month out and feel amazing. I have had no pain inside or where incisions are. I just was told I can eat everything again except for red meat,pork,rice,pasta,bread and no grapes but everything else is fair game.....Still cant get in all my water and just getting protein from food so far, but since I can add fruit Im gonna try a protein drink with bananna in it and see if it tastes better.I have dropped 20 pounds in 30 days and feel great. Still dont exercise much due to my knees but sometimes slow and steady wins the race .

The EAS shakes at costco are good, and you dont have to worry about mixing Water or milk.....Good luck on your journey and just take it one day at a time

It will go pretty quick after your surgeons visit........good luck on your wls journey

Think it depends on your pain tolerance, I had m surgery last friday and I stopped using the pain pump at midnight that same night and havent used any pain meds since I left. The only pain and it was just a pain in the butt was the gas, but that subsided within two days. I feel great just tired most of the time but getting in the fluids an protein just fine. I was scared oughta my mind and looking back now it was wasted energy lol, but we have to go through that tunnel to reach the great path we are on now........Good luck

Very sweet of you to do this.........looks great.Thanks for taking your time out to make such a cute list

Thank you guys for your words....I am home now , they kept me an extra day due to dry heaving. I told them it was from the nausea medication and sure enough when they stopped all meds I felt fine. I went in with migrane and nausea and they actually considered cancelling because it might be an underlying issue. I said no please dont lol...Anyways feel great today and down 10 pounds since friday, thank you to everyone that has giving me guidance and kind thoughts. So glad to be on the new road together....

Well less then 12 hours to go and Im scared oughta my mind.The worst thing right now is I have been reading this site for 6 months and never recall reading anyones horror story of the 10 ounces of Magnesium you must ingest and then spend the next 6 hours in the restroom in agonizing pain............For anyone who hasnt had the treat of this liquid pipe cleaner , Im warning you now .

Surgery is less then 12 hours away and Im not at the excited stage, Im still at the Im scared out of my mind stage......please send your prayers my way. Why am I not excited for this chance at a new, healthier life??

I woke up this morning and took a look at my under arms which I could swing and hit a home run with and was reminded immedietely why I looked into this weight loss option last year in the first place. I cant wait to be able to wear a tshirt and look and feel ok in it, I always wear a long sleeve under neath and even though its hot and miserable I have never dared to leave the house without one : Heres to new tshirts and summer time without a long sleeve shirt

Best Wishes and Prayers to all those joining me on June 24th

I feel the same way , I am 42 and my body feels double that . I want my mind and body to become equal and that is why I decided to do this surgery as well. Good luck on your journey and keep us posted

The hot pain in your leg should be evaluated... are you diabetic? Ask your doctor for a segmental pressure exam, it will check your arterial pressure and pulses and see if you have a block some where . Feeling of hot pain is sometimes a symptom.

Well Im right behind you with the cowarding out 1000 times. Im scheduled for next friday so I know EXACTLY how you feel, just take a breath and take it one step at a time you will be ok. I am avid dog lover myself but with enough food and Water he/she will be ok . They will lock up your bag so all will be fine there.......good luck and post as soon as you feel up to it so we know you are doing ok...............and lmao on the bacon flavored Protein drinks, if you find some please ship some to me
